Kathleen Yager

After a centering youth based in rural California, Kathleen Reddick Yager began a journey which has spanned the globe--quite literally. Studies in Mexico, France and Germany, combined with her Human Biology education at Stanford, were followed by receiving her Masters in Public Health at Yale School of Medicine.

Fundamentally, Kathleen sells--but not in the typical sense of the word. Yes, she's sold soap, frozen food, family fare and decaf coffee. With those skills, she's sold a drug free lifestyle as part of the groundbreaking D.A.R.E. and Partnership for a Drug Free America. She's sold good health as a Program Director in the fight against tobacco use and exposure with the State of California's Tobacco Control Progrm. She's successfully sold the idea of protecting the environment today for a better tomorrow, as Development Director of the Mono Lake Committee. She's applied those talents to a range of interests and concerns--from producing community theater to founding bicycling events and women's basketball leagues.

Today, she "sells" her passion for learning as an educator teaching digital media, and teaching students in special education. Betwixt and between, she shares her love of life, her enthusiasm and her faith with her husband, daugher, son-in-law, son, extended family and friends.
